LEVON MKRTCHIAN: 2008 TO BE TURNING FOR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The educational reforms being
implemented in Armenia will become complete in the complex program on
the Development of Education until 2015 to be presented to the
government in the near future, where all the program reforms being
implemented from general education up to the special one will be
included. This statement was made by Levon Mkrtchian, the Minister of
Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia, at the brief press
conference held at the end of the year on December 25. In the words of
the Minister, this document is a guiding principle for the sphere of
education as it has a tendency towards continuous reforms and if "we
are able to lead it as far as 2020-2025, Armenia will become a country
rendering scinetific educational services in the region."
Levon Mkrtchian touched upon the most pitiful, that is the pre-school
problem of the sphere of education, which has not received financing
from the budget so far. According to him, this system lives on local
self-government bodies and is in a state of neglect: "it has no state
control, there are no building conditions at all." And the reform
problem of the senior school is an urgent one at present in the sphere
of general education, which will resolutely eliminate the school-higher
education institution barrier. 30 test senior schools will open in all
the regions of Armenia in 2008, 4 out of which in Yerevan.
According to the Minister, 2008 will be turning for the sphere of
education of Armenia as the results of the holding of centralized final
and higher education institutional examinations will finally become
clear: "in case of holding them with success, we will smoothly pass
from school to higher education institution and the corruption risks
will be reduced." Levon Mkrtchian mentioned that in 2008 school-leavers
will take centralized examinations in a number of subjects, including
the foreign language, mathematics, the Armenian language and literature.
Touching upon the "Days of Azerbaijan" cultural undertaking held lately
in the Mkhitar Sebastatsi educational complex, the Minister mentioned
that the name and contents of that event do not correspond to each
other, since "days are usually held in friend countries and under this
circumstance the event was more dedicated to the search for
conciliation ways."
